A tasting menu for product craft.
The resume becomes a meal: exacting prep, fast heat, clean plating, and the odd beautiful ingredient that makes the table go quiet for a second.

Four services from the same kitchen.
Research broth
Absorb the room: business pressure, user behavior, legacy systems, constraints, edge cases, politics, and the thing nobody wrote down.
Prototype crudo
Thin, sharp slices of working interface. Enough fidelity to feel the answer before the organization overcommits.
Systems roast
Cart, checkout, wallet, internal tooling, design systems, and AI education cooked through until they hold under actual load.
Lab dessert
My AI Diary, WatchGPT, Human Actually, visualizers, and games: small experiments with enough finish to reveal a bigger appetite.
Interaction architecture: the underlying grammar of what a user can do, what the system knows, and how each state should feel.
Knife skillDesign engineering: slicing through ambiguity with enough code fluency to make prototypes honest instead of decorative.
FermentationAI practice: letting new product behaviors develop over time through memory, voice, user trust, and model constraints.
Heat controlEnterprise UX: keeping clarity and quality intact when legal, operations, scale, and revenue all enter the kitchen.
PlatingVisual taste: typography, density, layout, hierarchy, and motion composed so the work has a point of view.
ServiceLeadership by example: create the artifact, explain the thinking, teach the pattern, and raise the room's standard.
What comes off the line.
Early service under pressure: broadcast-adjacent UX and second-screen systems where timing and reliability mattered.
GoogleAssistant, Android, Cloud AI, and Material Design work: learning to plate new behaviors before the category became obvious.
YahooPrototype kitchen: fast experiments for search, media, and portal products with enough fidelity to change direction.
Walmart LabsLarge-format service: commerce loops, checkout flow, merchant systems, and design decisions repeated at massive scale.
Kohl'sCurrent station: cart, checkout, wallet, self-checkout, and AI enablement with enterprise constraints on the pass.
